24Knowing that an individual death is meaningless - any individual death, especially your own - that you are not a person, but a statistic and noticing, more each day, the countless deaths that occur around you - of other people, of animals, of insects, of the sick and infirm, of accident victims, of plants ripped from the earth and worms crushed beneath the blades of plows - of authors in their rooms, scribbling out desperate words in the backs of books no one will ever read, even the shattering of molecular bonds, the disintegration of atomic structures, happening in every moment, millions in each nanosecond, everywhere. This is Deathconsciousness. And it begs the question - “what is the point?”

Have A Nice Life - Basic
it was just like ice on my neck
when you traced your hands down my back
and I prayed to something, god knows what
that I’d never let you stop
I can’t move
and I don’t want to
I don’t love and I don’t want you
I won’t know
if I ever
because I don’t feel I’ll remember
what that’s like
what it’s like
to know you can
you can lay your eggs inside my back
you can suck the blood straight from my neck
you can turn us all to dust
and leave just an empty husk
and you can leave me here, if you want
because you’ll never love anyone
I want that back -

Have a Nice Life – Bloodhail
-
I am never going to love another soul,
even if I tried to.
And I am never going to live another life,
even if I’d die to.
And I am never going to rest my weary head,
or fold these arms together.
And I am never even going to give a shit
if life goes on forever. -
So please, please, please release me.
Can you hear my faintest breath? Is it amplified?
The number that I’ve become will put you inside.
I’ve got a message that I must relay.
No, I can’t delay it one more time (it’s not going well)
It is desperate. Can you relate, can you please, please relate? (I’m not holding up)
I am trapped, I’m stuck here on this bathroom floor and I don’t have much more hope or pride.(Source: acoverover)

Have A Nice Life - Earthmover
An army of golems is stalking, now, the heart’s lands
Eating all reality
Producing only dust and sand
Nothing hurts them
Nothing gets under their stone skin
And when their earthern mouths will open up
Just what words should come out? But:
“We wish we were dead” -

Have A Nice Life - Trespassers W
I’ve been doing a lot of bad things without you
And all the damned things I know confound you
As satan and his devils try to take my hand
And the angels on my shoulder try to tell me that they understand
Oh well, oh well
I’ve been chewing the skin in my mouth without you
I’ve been insecure and cruel without you
As satan and his devils try to take my hand
And the angels on my shoulder try to tell me that they understand
Oh well, oh well
Been chewing the skin in my mouth without you
I’m thinking all the blood in my mouth means something
And if I’m ready for spitting it out
I need to know what it’s all been about
Oh, nothing? -

Have A Nice Life - Deep, Deep
These atoms are liars
They do not realize, and we can’t blame them
Art as a means of escape, they don’t see the down-side
And that’s what takes them
Out on the floor
One stretches out it’s hands
Into the small of a back
And as they circle the room, as they circle the floor
One just wants it more
Well, they don’t want, anymore
You can sleep in these hollows and rivers
Exalt the righteous and drown the sinners
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, why is love so lonely?
All water on earth
Evaporates into steam and erupts from the ground
Does anyone else feel guilty?
Like I did it all myself
One feels a lack of love and there’s no limit
To the explosive power of this bomb
How do we reconcile our deaths?
We’d better figure it out before long
